It critiques Carlson&#8217;s remarks that seemingly support a progressive candidate, Abdul El-Sayed, by highlighting that El-Sayed questioned the conventional U.S. response to 9\/11 and emphasized the suffering of Middle Eastern victims rather than Americans. The article argues that Carlson&#8217;s position shifts away from conservative principles, especially by criticizing U.S. military actions post-9\/11, and suggests that such views are unrepresentative of conservative values. It also points out Carlson\u2019s apparent hypocrisy in condemning certain politicians while aligning with others who share similar views on Middle Eastern issues. the text challenges Carlson&#8217;s conservative credentials, portraying his stance as inconsistent with mainstream conservative beliefs.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>So, for those of you who still think Tucker Carlson is in the conservative fold, what do you think about the fact that the former Fox News host and current professional Israel-baiter used the 25th anniversary of 9\/11 to effectively endorse Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, sure, he didn\u2019t officially come out and say you should vote for El-Sayed. But, when you consider the fact that this is a man who centers virtually every issue around how it relates to Israel and the Muslim world, and you have El-Sayed effectively saying the real victims of 9\/11 were the people of the Middle East, and his opponent says that should be disqualifying, and Carlson uses the anniversary of 9\/11 to <em>agree<\/em> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/icymi-el-sayed-admits-unhinged-response-criticism-beard-violently-smashed-vodka-bottle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El-Sayed<\/a> explicitly and to denounce his opponent, you can guess where his sympathies lie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl-Sayed did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda; he simply said that the U.S. conducting terrorism of its own <em>in<\/em> <em>response<\/em> to 9\/11 was not exactly an appropriate reaction. He is obviously right,\u201d Carlson said in his Friday members-only newsletter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/media\/news\/tucker-carlson-jumps-to-abdul-el-sayeds-defense-over-controversial-9-11-comments-he-is-obviously-right\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mediaite<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson was referring to resurfaced remarks from a 2021 podcast in which El-Sayed said the real tragedy was that we weren\u2019t properly putting the people of the Middle East first and foremost when we think about Islamist terror attacks carried out against the West that killed nearly 3,000 innocent people.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/08\/us-news\/abdul-el-sayed-claims-us-response-to-9-11-scarred-millions-of-other-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>, El-Sayed told the \u201cAmerica Dissected\u201d podcast on Sept. 7, 2021, that \u201c9\/11 scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9\/11 scarred millions of other people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we talk about 9\/11, we often fail to center them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>His opponent, U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, responded that \u201cit is disqualifying for a US Senate Candidate to believe that Americans should \u2018center\u2019 their grief from 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbdul El-Sayed\u2019s attitude towards the worst tragedy in American history is disgusting and makes him completely unfit to serve in public office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, for El-Sayed, this is unfortunately par for the course. After all, what can you say about a man who has campaigned with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hasan-pikers-claim-doesnt-hate-america-clashes-time-declared-hate-america\/\">Hasan \u201cAmerica Deserved 9\/11\u201d Piker<\/a> and didn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/el-sayeds-terrible-no-good-weekend-forced-apologize-jewish-community-attempts-erase-ties-hasan-piker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">start distancing himself<\/a> from the controversial Twitch streamer until <em>after<\/em> he won the primary and had to seem somewhat sane? Nothing good, anyway, but sadly nobody who didn\u2019t think El-Sayed\u2019s past should disqualify him before will think these comments disqualify him <em>now<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a conservative, even a heterodox one, these comments aren\u2019t just disqualifying, but rebarbative. Tucker Carlson is still a conservative, as far as I know, although his positions seem to shift like the tides. However, he spent 9\/11 not only <em>bashing<\/em> conservatives, but giving ideological ammo to El-Sayed and his fellow travelers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour typical Fox News viewer is likely oblivious to this, but America\u2019s response to 9\/11 blew the original attack out of the water. George Bush\u2019s subsequent war in Iraq, which made no sense considering Iraq did not do 9\/11, got hundreds of thousands of innocents killed, had tens of thousands of American military casualties, and catalyzed the creation of ISIS,\u201d Carlson\u2019s newsletter read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat means the U.S. slaughtered enough civilians to account for <em>dozens<\/em> and <em>dozens<\/em> of 9\/11s. And that is a conservative estimate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The legacy of those conflicts may be problematic, but so is that logic: We went into two countries either ruled by factions and\/or harboring organizations that wanted to do \u201cdozens and dozens of 9\/11s\u201d on American soil, if at all possible, and made sure they could no longer do that. Carlson\u2019s numbers \u2014 if he did indeed write the newsletter himself, or even <em>read <\/em>it \u2014 don\u2019t reflect a \u201cconservative estimate\u201d of innocent casualties, at least at the hands of the United States. The rise of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-horror-uncovered-former-islamic-state-stronghold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Islamic State group<\/a> was not the doing of George W. Bush\u2019s war but of Barack Obama\u2019s abdication of Middle Eastern security. Insurgent groups were responsible for most of the violence.<\/p>\n<p>But what do I know, stupid Fox News viewer, me?<\/p>\n<p>And not only does Carlson agree that El-Sayed is \u201cobviously right,\u201d he spent a significant portion of the newsletter slamming Rogers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold on a second. <em>Disgusting<\/em>? Understanding that the Bush administration was wrong to kill hundreds of thousands of people and waste trillions of dollars in Iraq, even though, again, <em>Iraq did not do 9\/11<\/em>, is disgusting?\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are really not sure who Mike Rogers is, but if anyone in Michigan\u2019s Senate race is \u2018unfit to serve in public office,\u2019 it is him,\u201d Carlson continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSlaughtering thousands of innocent people is atrocious no matter who is responsible. If Rogers is deranged enough to think that Jihadis are evil for murdering enough Americans to fill a Division III hockey arena, but that the Pentagon deserves two thumbs up for killing enough to pack Ohio State\u2019s football stadium multiple times, then he cannot possibly have the judgment necessary to adequately serve the needs of American voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your \u201cconservative\u201d Tucker Carlson: Agreeing with a guy who says we should be \u201ccentering\u201d the pain of Middle Easterners on the 25th anniversary of 9\/11, but calling Mike Rogers\u2019 remarks the disqualifying ones, and saying that America is \u201creally not sure who Mike Rogers is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(For those of you who haven\u2019t been paying attention to Carlson recently, saying that you don\u2019t \u201cknow who someone is\u201d happens to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/deep-dive-one-year-million-charlie-kirks-not-yet-emerged-disunity-insanity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tucker-land speak<\/a> for <em>we don\u2019t know that they\u2019re secretly in cahoots with Israel, but c\u2019mon: They\u2019re secretly in cahoots with Israel<\/em>.)<\/p>\n<p>In short, if this is what a \u201cconservative\u201d looks like in 2026, I\u2019d hate to see what a liberal \u2014 or progressive \u2014 thinks.<\/p>\n<p>But then, that\u2019s assuming Carlson can still be counted in the conservative fold.
